STAR Hospitals Celebrated 16 Years of Heart Care Excellence at the ‘Heart2Heart’ Event Commemorating World Heart Day 2024

On the occasion of World Heart Day, STAR Hospitals hosted a special event, ‘*Heart2Heart*,’ to commemorate 16 years of pioneering leadership in cardiac care. Over the years, STAR Hospitals established one of India’s most successful heart care programs, achieving remarkable milestones in patient care and advanced cardiac surgeries.

The event focused on sharing truly inspiring patient stories that exemplified the hospital's commitment to transforming lives through world-class heart care.

One such story was of *Manish* (name changed), a young engineering student who, as a newborn, faced life-threatening cardiac complications. At just 10 days old, his parents endured the heart-wrenching fear of losing their child, but STAR Hospitals gave him a second chance at life. Today, Manish is thriving, pursuing a B.Tech degree, and his parents credited STAR Hospitals and its dedicated doctors for giving their son a rebirth.

Another remarkable story was that of *Aparna* (name changed), a young woman who underwent heart surgery at the age of 12. Now 22, she is not only healthy but also pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. Aparna is currently enrolled in an MBBS program, and her journey from patient to aspiring doctor is a testament to the quality of care and expertise offered by STAR Hospitals.

Additionally, *Mr. Mallesh* (name changed), who underwent a PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) at the age of 51, shared his story of recovery. As a man with significant responsibilities, he had nearly lost hope after his diagnosis. However, STAR Hospitals restored his health, and today, he enjoys a peaceful and happy retirement, grateful for what he calls his "rebirth."
The event was graced by Padma Shri Brahmanandam Garu, the beloved comedian and actor, who served as the Chief Guest. He shared, "I was overjoyed to witness people from diverse walks of life not only survive but thrive after receiving care at STAR Hospitals. Their journeys were truly inspiring, and it was heartening to see them leading healthy and successful lives after undergoing life-changing treatments.
